OT: Total Eclipse April 8th

Worse eclipse ever.

I texted my wife (who's out of town): "The eclipse was stupid." At least it was in NYC, where there was 90% coverage.

Just like you can't be a little bit pregnant--either you are or you aren't--either the sun was eclipsed or it wasn't. It wasn't.

Most of the sun was blocked but didn’t get very dark. It was still humbling making me feel like a speck of dust across the multi-verses.

Have to admit, this is one of the coolest (and now least useful) collectibles out there in the golf world:

You really need all of it blocked- when it was happening, while there was still a bit of sun not blocked, it was light outside. Same thing when moon moved to unhide the sun, the smallest amount of sun reappearing caused the artificial night to end

Mind blowing. I’ve witnessed partial eclipses before but the difference between 90% and 100% is the difference between jumping off the ground and flying to the moon. Incredibly breathtaking and really really hard to explain.

Now I’m back at base camp getting ready to puke watching our guys. Go Huskies.
